How do they make champagne! Well
you must remember that a good deal .. what
labeled champagne is doctorcd with car
oiic acid gas. tut the real stuff is made by
mixture OF ten or dozen different wines
made from certain varieties of foreign grapes.
The wines are fist made separate, each from
separate grape, then they are blended to-
gether for taste and bouquet in certain pro-
portions well understood by wineinalers.
The blended wines are then bottled and cork
ed ami Undergo process of fermentation for
two years. The bottles are then opencd. the
sediment blown off, the wine is rebottIcl and
sweetened with rock candy strip in propor-

The Georgia Picnic Kiss,

And after all there is no chance for i'm
provement over the simple Georgia picnic
kiss, at the mere mention of which there rise
before the vision of all the old boys dainty
muslins, pink ribbons rosy cheeks and Rem
brandt shadow. The very air seems redolent
of heliotrope; laughter like the ripple of a
hidden brook trembles In the distance, and
the good right arm feels again the faint
struggle Of modesty upon it, How tawdry,
how coarse and revolving seems the stage
spasm compared with this. No, the best kiss
ing after all is what the circumstances make
it. The circumstances that surround the old
fashioned Georgia picnic make it simply de-
lghtful. The young man who is led off by
the stage kiss drops the substance for the
shadow and is to be pitied. Telegraph.

The Swelling of the Oyater,

Oysters, it seems, may be swollen very con-
siderabiy by allowing them to lilo awhile in
water BY this means, Professor Atwater
tells us, "the body of the oyster acquires such
plumpness and rotundity, and its bulk and
weight are so increased, as to materially in
crease its selling value.n
Now, the simple FISHERMAN, as wc'l MS the
unsophisticar.d customer, has supposed that
this swelling oS "fatteningn of the oyster rep
resents III, actual gain of flesh and fat. But
the professor rudely dispels this theory by
the crushing explanation that the increase OF
volume is Ju-t what would be expected from
the osmose Of dlalysis. Subjected to this ter
rifying process five quarts of oysters grow to
six but tie extra quart is water and not fat
ness, and the dealer "offers his customers no
more nutiitive material-indeed, n tri[lc less

the five quarts if he had not foated thcm.n

A QUESTION OF ETHICS.

Fair Mary was my boyhood's fame,
When was nine and she nineteen;
To all the SWANS who counting came
Her ready answer was the same:
II guess I'll wait for Johnny Greenl"
Just what the maid was pleased to mean
will not now pretend TO claim
only know she was my queen,
Nor did another step between
Till myself nineteen became.
Now, relate the fact with shame;
Icannot think my conscience clean
But Mary's love appearing tame
In ten years playing at the game,
Icraved her sister Josephine.
A fairer maid was never seen;
A host of lovers cried her fame;
But had any right to blame
Her wish to wait for Tommy Green,
When that's my little brothers manner

the depth of two or three feet The engine
plunged into this and was Immediately
thrown from the track and instantly the
whole rear of the train was piled up on the

the passengers, eight of whom were killed
and seventeen wounded The Coroner's iury
returned II verdict of Accidental death in all

This feature of "deodand" belongs to tho
old common law, which declared that when

Purchasers of Paintings,

Amateurs of paintings that is purchasers
may be divided into three classes, namely:
those who pay more for pictures than they
are worth; those who get them at their
proper value and those who have knack of
making good bargains. To belong to the
third class one must almost inevitably pass
through the first two, and there are many
who spend their last dollar before reaching it.
Real connoisseurs are very. rare; there al e
very, very few experts who can be implicitly
relied on. Some amateur spectators are
very sly and at times make bold strokes.
Here Is a noted example: Mr.. W. happened
to buy an unknown Rembrandt at rHotel
Drouot for mere song. The painting was
genuine, but, not being known, it was not
quoted. To launch it into renown, the owner
conceived the idea of putting it up again for
sale at PHotel Drouot and of having one of
his friends, who was i'll the secret. to push it
up to $4,000. This was d sham sale, for Mr..
w. reil:nded the money to his friend and
kept the picture. But after that day the
Rembrandt was consecrated and classed, for
ia the artistic circles the newly found picture
became the topic of conversation Then
when Mr.. w. was certain that desire was
ripe i'll the hearts of rich amateurs he again
put up the picture ut auction and this time it
brought the round sum of $50, 00.-Paris
